Limp Mode.....Help!

[PAUL200]

Hi,

I have a late 2014 Defender 130 2.2 Puma.

1) I was proceeding up a steep hill today in 6th gear at approx 100km/hr when there was suddenly a loud bang followed by a whooshing noise.

2) Defender then started to decelerate hard and I pushed the clutch in and pulled over.

3) After stopping the engine was still running so I turned off the ignition.

The engine light is on now (yellow light) and the engine will not rev over 2500 rpm. Any ideas?

There is no visible leaks or oil from beneath the vehicle. I can drive the vehicle up to about 40km/hour (assume it is in limp mode?).

Any ideas or people who have had similar experiences would be really helpful! I have a feeling it could be a turbo hose?[bigsad]

I would bet a turbo hose as well.

hi Paul,
I had the same problem down at Torquay. Had to limp to Port Campbell. The inlet manifold hose right down the bottom split. I put my hand right down to feel the split. Its a short angled hose that splits. There is a silicon hose to replace it in England.
Its a big job to replace it. All those coolent hoses have to come out of the way.

..... had mine done at Geelong Landrover using a standard hose. Last day of my landrover assist too. I meant to ask what the bill would have been

Thanks guys, is there any way I can say for sure this is the problem? Is the best place to look from above or from beneath the vehicle.

I think the 1500m climb up Mount Kapatur may have led to this failure!

So I read the fault codes and have the following:

P0101 - Powertrain
Mass or volume Air Flow Circuit Range / Performance Problem

P2263 - Powertrain
Turbo / Supercharger Boost System Performance

Think this finalizes the problem. Does anybody know which part of the turbo system to inspect first? [bigsad]

I'd say your one of your hoses has gone. Replace them all with silicone ones

One of your turbo hoses has either come off or is split.
If it's simply come off, then reattach and tighten the clamp.
if it's split, and I'm assuming that you're still around the Narrabri area, then I'd suggest you get some Self Fusing Silicone Rescue Tape from one of the local auto shops. Do a temporary fix on the split which will get you back to Sydney where you can then order and fit a set of silicone hoses ....... and make sure they're secure not rubbing on anything.

I did this on a friends 110 Puma in the Victorian High Country and he completed the trip and drove back to Sydney with the temporary repair.

... get some Self Fusing Silicone Rescue Tape ...I did this on a friends 110 Puma ...


I was going to ask you if you always carry the Self Fusing Silicone Rescue Tape, but then I looked up what it was.

Look what you can do!

What Will it Repair
Recommended for repairs to hoses, pipes, air lines, air-conditioning pipework, exhausts, fuel lines and a host of other conduits that fail on a regular basis, this stuff is limited only your own inventiveness.
The snake-oil salesman at the boat show demonstrated how an emergency fan belt could be constructed by lashing the tape around the pulleys of an engine and while we haven't needed to try it we have no doubt it would work.
The promotional blurb also states that self fusing tape has "7000 volts dielectric strength after elongation'' meaning it is a very safe insulator for spark plug leads, electrical car coils, power tools, electric leads etc. etc. etc.

Sounds like a hose,

I can lend a hand if you are in sydney. I have done this twice now and it is not that difficult, specially with a bit of personal lubricant as some one suggested up here ;) the young bloke at the pharmacy looked at me with a smirk and asked if i wanted a paper bag to carry it home :P

PS : You can have a Turbo to IC hose if thats whats broken
